...During the first 20 years of the Israel state
1948-1967…Palestinian territories: Cisjordany, is occupied, then
annexed by TransJordany, and there are no Israelis in this territory;
Gaza is under the strict control of Egypt who is not allowing
Palestinians to go out freely, and there are no Israelis in this
territory. During these long 20 years, Palestinians were dissolved among
the other Arabs, they showed no desire to express a specific voice, they
did not present to United Nations Organisation any demand for the
recognition of a State! All together, the Arabs were just claiming THEY
WANT TO FREE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES! THEREFORE, WHAT ARE THE
“TERRITORIES” THAT THEY WANTED TO “LIBERATE” AND
WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THEIR “RESISTANCE”?

If Israel shows greater flexibility, it can still influence the post-nuclear deal agenda ; If Israel digs in its heels, it will increasingly become a liability rather than a strategic asset to the U.S.
